Soccer: Griezmann strikes again as Orlando edge Monterrey in Leagues Cup

Griezmann keeps the goals coming in Florida

Two games in the United States, two goals. Antoine Griezmann has wasted no time. The France forward struck again for Orlando City, and his finish settled a 2-1 win over Monterrey in the opening round of the Leagues Cup.

It is his second goal in Orlando colours. He opened his account back in July on his MLS debut against San Jose. At 35, the former Atletico Madrid man is reading his new surroundings quicker than anyone expected.

Let’s do it

A finish only he tends to try

The goal carried his signature. Griezmann darted in front of defender Stefan Medina, took the ball early and clipped it with the outside of that clever left foot. The net did the rest.

Orlando are through. The Leagues Cup throws MLS sides against clubs from Liga MX, and the Frenchman is already leaving fingerprints all over it.

Settling in at speed

Two appearances, two goals, one very happy dressing room. Orlando brought in a name and got an immediate return.
